Nice, I especially like YOU ARE HOLY by Joshua Aaron, but I'm more partial to a more acoustic sound.

The whole revelations thing is going to be awkward after the 4th or 5th temple is built.
revelations? what revelations?

I think we need to keep in mind the spiritual truth of God who is spirit is more important than literal events.
So when they pass the pork chops and mashed potatoes, you just pass 'em by on the grounds that literal pork chops aren't important. All you care about is the prayer before the meal.

Besides, is this going to be a Jewish temple or a Christian church?
The Bible never uses ekklesia for a buidling. The Biblical temple building is a place for conducting animal sacrifices. Furniture absent is chairs & pulpits. It is not a building for everyone to enter, sit down, & sing "Bringing in the sheaves."

Because salvation is through Christ alone.
I fail to see how because links to your previous words.

Not sure what you mean, CrossNote. You mean acoustic instruments instead of synthesizers and electronics? You are a pipe organ man?

Exactly, and the problem that people have with a third or even possibly a fourth temple that I have now being talked about in biblical studies is that they only look at it from the Christian view point. We are now the temple, and therefore a physical building temple would be against the Lord.
The Lord Jesus was the Temple when He came; yet there was this earthly building for animal sacrifices in operation, which building / precinct He called "My Father's Oikos." He endorsed the Law of Moses, which endorsed the Levitical priesthood, & its sacrifices. He participated in Temple ceremony as a baby.

If you wish to be a part of His Temple, it is necessary to trust the Savior to Save you. If you don't know where you will go when you die, you don't trust Him. If you trust in water, you trust an idol.

However if you look at it from the Jewish aspect where a lot of Jews do not accept Jesus as Lord and Savior still. They do want a temple rebuilt, and are pushing for it to be done.
IMHO, it is a very small minority that want a temple rebuilt and animal sacrifices re-instituted.

When you compare this to bible prophecy ( scriptures ) then you will see how Ezekiel and the vision given to John in Revelation match. The Lord would not have shown John a vision of the two witnesses standing in front of the temple if no temple exists.
Good point, Kenneth.

If the temple were rebuilt, and I saw it, I would have to change my eschatology. IMHO, much of our eschatology is just trying to put things together the best that we can. And however we construct it, it won't make a dime of different as to what happens -- totally out of our control. But I do consider it important to have the blessed hope of the Lord coming and taking me up.

Yes, non electronic sound...of course by the time it filters through my speakers...oh well.
Yes, I'll even go so far as period instruments :(

SarahahM777 There is no specific Scripture that states that a third temple will be built. The idea is taken from some scriptures such as Matthew where it mentions an abomination of desolation being placed in the Temple and in Daniel how Temple sacrifices
will cease during the 70th week of Daniel. Some Christians believe this refers to the destruction of the Temple in 70AD.
Conservative Jews believe that only the Messiah can rebuild the Temple, also Jews are not allowed on the Temple Mount because
no one knows the exact place where the Holy of Holies was situated. Only the High Priest could enter that place.

So that is why Palestinian kids are allowed to play soccer on the Mount?
Also Sarah is no longer with us, so don't expect a response.

Actually Revelation 11:1-2 shows a physical temple existing in the tribulation.

Some try to explain this away as just being spiritual and in heaven, but verses 1-13 shows this all is taking place on earth.

Please state your point, you think talking about the Third temple is unspiritual.
Do you mean the point of this thread? Or the point of a quote of mine, whatever it is not showing up.
Are you talking to me or Bride who was banned?
The next temple will not be a God approved temple as it ends up being abused by the antichrist 3 1/2 years after ratifying a covenant with Israel. So if that is what you refer to the third temple...then talking about it may be spiritual as it touches on prophecy but the temple itself isn't spiritual.

You can Google Temple Mount and get lot's of views.
